ARIA.Next Items

RS: second pass on this - need to fill some gaps

what controls need to be in HTML 5.x - group has made a lot of progress

lots of problems with selectors using shadowDOM

may need to push to ARIA2

<MichaelC> filling gaps in native semantics

<MichaelC> doing stuff that can´t be done

<MichaelC> (can´t wait until ARIA 2)

clearing up confusion for author

<janina> /me Maybe we need a new scribe?

<MichaelC> jg: shadow dom issues?

<MichaelC> rs: lots of complexity

<MichaelC> how it works may evolve

<MichaelC> hidden from rest of web page

<MichaelC> only way to reference is via selector

<MichaelC> is exposed to AAPI

<MichaelC> don´t know how this impacts a11y test tools

<MichaelC> so lots to explore around it

<MichaelC> jg: so it´s a long-term solution for HTML 5 components

<MichaelC> canvas, applet, etc.

<MichaelC> js: if it proves robust, will rely on it

<MichaelC> but it might not survive as a mechanism

<MichaelC> so let´s not rely on it yet

<MichaelC> scribe: jongund

RS: Do we have an editors call?

MC: No

RS: I was going to ask an opinion ...

LS: I am in the que
... I am trying to fix... here is an inaccessible canvas, are people actually recommended this

RS: We have almost done it, one thing we are missing is hit testing
... I am not sure where the canvas work

JS: There is an HTML5 working group, they are working on Version 2 of the spec
... They are meeting every other week

RS: I was out last week
... My understanding is the ARIA 1.1 hit testing is being implemented, can't drive a magnifier at the moment

LS: It sounds like most things work, it sounds like you can get Level A
... We need to go look at current Canvas implementations to see if the shadow DOM works...

JS: This was your question
... The place to work on this is the canvas task force
... There is an active group

LS: Send me the e-mail list

RS: public-canvas-api

JS: We need to move on

Issues and Actions http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-pfwg/2014Jul/0048.html

MC: I think we have pretty much dealt with this
... ... reading the proposal ...
... Can we adopt?

JS: I think we have a conensus in the group

RESOLUTION: Accept proposal

Spec Introductions http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-pfwg/2014Jul/0025.html

MC: We need to clean up the introductions to all of our specs

<MichaelC> Introduction Guidelines

MC: I have created a wiki page with suggestions, mostly from me
... An introduction should have technical literacy, but may not be familiar with the technology
... It should scaffold in more technical details, don't assume people know ...
... Should explain the problem it is solving and how it solves the problem
... It should not use spec language, it should be entirely non-normative, examples using diagrams
... Who should implement the spec and what would happen if it is not implemented
... Any questions or thoughts?

JS: I really like the list, I like the tone and langauge

RS: What seems to be missing the objectives and why

JS: It is in there, but it is buried

RS: Do you want to type in the drafts I have developed?

JS: We are complaining to other groups about the problems with their specs, we want to set an example to other groups

MC: Its in a wiki so it can be edited, is there any thing missing?

RS: How does this relate to other documents

MC: A good one
... Let me take some notes
... Reorder.... I will talk to JS.. how this relates to others
... Other thoughts?
... We hope to apply them to current documents being developed
... This will be a good resource for us and other groups

Events Enumeration http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-pfwg/2014Jul/0034.html

JS: Shane is not on the call
... It was tasked to me, but Shane picked it up and there was a lot of list discussion and concerns, we need to keep this open

CSS Device Adaptation http://www.w3.org/TR/css-device-adapt/

MC: We need to file a working group comment

JS: This will be a big decision for us

MC: CSS spec that is in first public working draft, not recently been updated
... It is specifying some features from member companies
... It can put constraints on how a web page is viewed on different size and reolution
... The accessibility concern, there is a zoom property, which can disable zooming all together, very deliberate way preventing zoon
... User agents would be constrained, causing a basic accessibility problem
... It is implemented, so there is a problem to tell people to remove this functionality
... Should we file a comment, and ho hard should we push?

JF: In some ways it is addressed in WCAG, the ability to enlarge....
... We should make a comment related to the WCAG comment, advise them not to do this

MC: We could write a failure technique for WCAG

JS: Real goal is to get it out of the W3C spec

JF: That will be hard to do, specs are suppose to reflect implementation

JS: Aren't developers asking for this problem if the spec is not complete, we need a bar..
... We need to discuss this further

MC: We definitely need to discuss this more

LS: I agree with JS we need to discuss this more, we don't approve a spec that is definitely not accessible

MC: We have approved specs with accessibility issue
... this particular spec is about particular values
